I think i know whats going on but id like a second opinion to set my mind at ease. I wont be able to check anything until thursday. Let me preface this by saying... I am an Idiot for doing this, i understand and admit it.
I replaced the LCAs this weekend along with new rotors and pads. While trying to get the piston to retract I tried a lot of different methods. prying against it using pliers pulling it against the rotor, and finally opening the bleed valve, hoping it would release the pressure (it didnt). Finally i went and bought a C clamp which worked however i am now concerned i damaged something.
My guess is that when i opened the blead nipple, i let air into the lines. When i pried against it fluid came out but the piston didnt retract. Or possibly i didnt tighten the valve down enough.
the brakes will lock when the pedal hits the floor almost but it just drops to there.
any thoughts?
